We are so grateful and humbled to know that the Sundstrom's church congregations in both Enterprise, Alabama and Destin will be fasting for Aaron and his family. Aaron and Beth have also been informed that friends, family, and even strangers from all over the United States and even in different countries will be fasting for them tomorrow. These are people who are well-acquainted with fasting, as well as others who may have never fasted before.
We would be so appreciative if you remember Aaron and his family in your prayers and fasting tomorrow.
"Fasting includes neither eating nor drinking for two consecutive meals.
Since the time of Adam, God’s people have fasted to help them draw near to Him and to worship Him. Jesus showed the importance of fasting by His own example (see Luke 4:1–4).
Fasting means to go without food and drink. Occasional fasting is good for our bodies and helps our minds become more active. The Savior taught us that purposeful fasting is more than just going without food and drink. We must also concentrate on spiritual matters. Our fasting should be accompanied by sincere prayer, and we should begin and end our fasting with prayer. Fasting can have many purposes. We can overcome weaknesses or problems by fasting and praying. Sometimes we may wish to fast and pray for help or guidance for others, such as a family member who is ill and needs a blessing." -lds.org
Kim thank you for this awesome blog. We pray that Aaron and Beth find peace through this hard journey. I'll be following along on the journey.
